Ronaldo will miss only Juventus' home game against Young Boys on October 2.

The 33-year-old tangled with Valencia defender Jeison Murillo, appearing to tug at the player's hair, in the first half of Juventus' 2-0 win last week.

It was the first time he was sent off in 15 years of playing in the Champions League.

The Juventus striker left the pitch in tears after seeing red for the off-the-ball incident.

He couldn'tlaunch an appeal against the straight red received in the 29th minute at the Mestalla.

The former United star clashed with Murillo before the Valencia defender fell theatrically to the ground.

Ronaldo reached down and appeared to grab the hair of the defender, who then stood up and squared up to the Juventus forward.

The 33-year-old was given the marching orders for the 11th time in his career and walked off sobbing.

He was consoled by Juventus manager Max Allegri and made his way straight down the tunnel for an early shower.

Two penalties from Miralem Pjanic saw 10-man Juventus take all three points against Valencia in their opening Group H clash.

The news that CR7 will be available to face his old club will be another setback after a tough week for Man United.

Boss Jose Mourinho is currently at loggerheads with star midfielder Paul Pogba, and there are rumours of a dressing-room rift.

But executive vice chairman Ed Woodward insists he is sticking by the beleaguered boss in what is one of his most testing times as a manager.
